  1. Washington state is is relaxing their mask requirements for fully vaccinated for all employees to be permitted to not wear a mask at work indoors. If the employee does not provide the employer with proof of vaccination, then that employer is allowed to require that employee to always wear a mask at work....until Covid is no longer a risk. I suspect you will see more and more of this if vaccination rates remain below herd immunity levels. And I suspect international travel will be difficult to do without proof of vaccination, but many people do not travel internationally, so this
  2. The AstraZeneca is no longer being used in my province of British Columbia, Canada. They seem to have a good supply of Pfizer. They are currently giving first shots to folks in their early 20's and people as young as 12 can now register to get their first shot in the coming weeks. My daughter in her early 20's will get her first injection in 1 week. A co-worker told me a story of her young cousin....early 20's. He is an anti masker....believes covid is a hoax etc. He has recently been diagnosed with Covid. He is in his early 20's so the odds are in his favour that he will hav
  3. Only a tiny percentage of the Japanese population is vaccinated....a very tiny percentage. The Olympics will be very restricted to avoid infecting the general population. Considering the low vaccination rate in Japan, I think the Olympics going ahead is risky, but if the event is locked down and very carefully managed, then it might be ok. Then again Japan has a high population density and the new variants do spread quickly, but thankfully the Japanese are very good about wearing masks etc.
  4. After my injection, the nurse did ask for my phone so she could download a program to help connect with the nanobots.
  5. I got my first Pfizer shot last thursday....second shot will be delayed due to an ongoing shortage of vaccine in Canada. Injection spot on my arm was ever so mildly tender for a day or so....but it was VERY mild tenderness. No other side effects.
  6. This is a 5 minute video that I enjoyed and I thought I would share with all of you.
  7. I'm booked to get my first shot on May 6th....it will either be the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine. Second shot will be 4 months later....in Canada due to a shortage of the vaccines...they are focusing on giving everyone their first injection before they begin giving the second injection. In theory this will keep keep from going to the hospital and stop people from dying.
  8. You're all very welcome. Tag me in threads you want me to see....I'm working 3 jobs now and going for an interview to add a 4th job to my schedule, so I'm keeping a bit busy and my free time to read the foums is limited.
  9. I'll leave it more or less disabled for now. I can stick it under the first post if people want that.
  10. Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I currently work 3 jobs and a total of 76 hours a week. So my time to follow the forums is limit. For mobile devices it will appear under the first post and I doubt I can change that. I have the ability to almost disable this feature or I can put it under the first post instead of the side bar...which does everyone prefer? I have adjusted the settings so this feature is mostly disabled for computers and tablets.
  11. Yup. It should be good to go now. I was busy this weekend doing my taxes and didn't notice it was offline until I checked my e-mails.
  12. It seems the server was full so I worked sunday to clear out older duplicate back-up files etc.
  13. I'd much rather have built in protection then worrying about dealing with covid. But I'm 60. The vaccines do seem to offer first rate protection. If you do take the vaccine and get covid......you will have mild or no symptoms. The big question is whether you can then infect un-vaccinated people. I have a co-worker that had a lung transplant that can't be vaccinated. I worry about people like that. Being on a trip and getting covid and having to track down meds like Regeneron might prove tricky.
  14. Here in Canada there was an old folks home that had vaccinated all people that were interested. Not all staff or residents chose to get the vaccine. Recently 10 residents and 2 staff came down with covid. Of the 10 residents that got covid after the vaccine.....8 had been vaccinated and although they had covid...they had no symptoms. So the vaccine gave them enough protection that they conquered covid like a 15 year old. I am not sure how the other 2 residents and 2 staff that were not vaccinated made out with their covid. This is a very new story. So the vaccines do not prev
  15. This thread sure did take a hard right turn.
  16. This how it is done in Canada...Federal government gets the vaccines and gives it out to each province in quantities relative to the population in each province. In my province of British Columbia....we have the province divided into 5 different "Health Authorities" (regions) and each one helps to distribute the vaccines. Old age care homes and native people are first priority. We are focusing on giving everyone their first dose....then 4 months later they will give everyone their second dose.
  17. I have fully confidence all these vaccines will act as advertised. We are lucky this virus was not a big killer like the 1918 pandemic. I'd be happy if the vaccine just kept me from serious illness and death. Anything beyond that is a bonus in my eyes, so even the Johnson and Johnson vaccine is looking very acceptable in my books. As for mask wearing, I am pleased not to have a cold for over 1 year instead of a cold every 6 weeks, so mask wearing will probably be something I will continue for a very long time.
  18. This is very sad news indeed....my heart goes out to their families.
  19. It's always amusing to hear these nut job theories. People that believe this stuff should not have kids....just quietly let their genes die out naturally for the good of the species.
  20. I agree. I work with a guy that believes a variety of things...earth is flat....G5 causes Covid etc...the usual oddball stuff. He was trying to convince me not to take the vaccine because they will inject me with nanobots...that will migrate to my brain. Then the government can control my mind using my smart phone to wirelessly control the nanobots in my brain. I replied that should help me organized my daily routine. He is fun to listen too but after 5 minutes my brain starts to shutdown. Heck if we had that level of technology....I'm sure the government would think of better
  21. This is good to know. Thanks. I won't have my chance to get the vaccine until the fall I suspect.
  22. I do admit I am interested in the Johnson and Johnson vaccine. No one has died from covid after taking it and it is only 1 shot and is easier to transport. For me the goal is to stop deaths or serious illness. It does not prevent the illness as well as the other vaccines, but it's other attributes seem appealing.
  23. From what I understand each syringe has the microchip on the outside of the syringe to track all the syringes. The story about a nano technology implant being in the actual vaccine and small enough to go through the needle sounds quite a bit beyond our current technology.
